Depression Support Group

Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.

I am so sorry that you feel so low. I hope you know that you are not alone and we have all probably had that feeling of wanting to die. When you really think about it, you probably just want the pain to stop. I don't know if you are seeing a therapist or if you have tried medication, but I really think that can help you. Just try to do something to get your mind of things. I know it is not that easy. Maybe try to read some positive quotes or pages from a self help book and let the messages sink in.

Can you take it one moment at a time?
